Descendants of
Willem Aertszen (Aertse) (Orser)

This is the maternal line of Dora (Savage) Hamilton's great great great grandmother, Hannah (Orser) Hadley who married William. Hannah's father is Solomon Orser.  The information here comes from Dora's family, and Helen Fralick and the Orser web-site.

The name variations I believe are due to illiteracy and unfamiliarity of English speaking government clerks with Dutch Family Surnames and their spelling. Willem Aertszen was born to Dutch parents in the Dutch colony in what is today the area of New York City in the mid 1600's. By the late 1600's the name when written is spelled Aertse, and stays with this spelling for three generations while in New York State. When Solomon Orser arrives in Kingston, Lower Canada in the early 1800's it is modified when written to Orser by British government clerks.
